Hi,
Just got my Nexus. Can't update it as Nexus says it's up to date. And my Android version is 4.0.1 at the moment.
But I see in your signatures most of you have 4.0.3.
Do I need to be a developer (must have SDK or smth) to upgrade? Or is there a simple way to do that?
Thanks!
4.0.3 OTA is not available. It's in AOSP.
Only way to get 4.0.3 is to use a custom ROM .

Thanks!!!
That was quick
I think I will wait for official. Have no balls messing with custom ROMs at the moment Tired already of messing with Windows Mobile and searching for a perfect ROM (didn't find that in 3 years).

well luckily for you if you ever decide to go the custom rom route, the people at samsung, google, and the wonderful developers online have made it almost idiot proof, and safe to do. you will probably be surprised how easy it is. in fact, most people seem to have the most issues installing the windows(or mac) drivers properly.
peter alfonso - peteralfonso.com has the Bugless Beast rom, which is nearly stock aosp, and very stable
i have to say I tried rooting, unlock and custom rom... and the hardest bit was finding the right drivers.. but used the universal ones (in the forums) and it worked like a charm.. Just follow a guide and it's simple... but I've stuck with stock as the camera functionality isn't as good in AOSP... will flash cm9 when its ready though
go with the one touch app for rooting and the touch clockwork app they work great

You don't need to install any drivers on Mac to make fastboot working. Just download a fastboot binary (like on Linux).
Btw
When we should expect 4.0.3 to be released officially?
How long it usually takes to release a new version?

no ETA. it is ready when it is ready.
flash to custom 4.0.3 if you want it now
I am also still at 4.0.1 and when I check for update, still no 4.0.2
When were will be an update to 4,0,3 will we be able to update without losing all the settings?
I have Backup checkbox marked in my settings.
So, if I'm on 4.0.2 and download a 4.0.3 ROM it will be compatible? Same with flashing a 4.0.3 kernel on a 4.0.2?
Thanks
Hi there,
I've currently got a Moto Atrix but I'm looking for a change really.
I'm looking at getting an sgs3 on T-Mobile (UK) hence why I've posted here
Just got a few questions:
Is the bootloader unlocked as standard? - From what I've read we can just Odin(?) A new recovery and then flash away?
And in general how easy is it to start flashing new roms etc?
On the attic it went like this:
Root > unlock bootloader > flash new recovery > flash any rom, kernel or radio etc
Should I go for the s3?

With t-mobile sgs3 you can just install custom recovery root and flash away. The bootloader is already unlocked. You will love the sgs3:good:
Here's a link with all the info you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723175
Just a few questions!

this has nothing to do with the original post...asking for help here will not net any results...
I suggest to search your issue and you will find your problems...

We now have working exploit for out Canadian friends .
We are publicly releasing Bells, Rogers and Telus. This is the same 0.5v that removes LG Security.
Further details can be read in thecubed's post here.
Due to the nature of the varients make sure you download the correct file!
Bell:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/bell/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Bell.zip
Rogers:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/rogers/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Rogers.zip
Telus:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/telus/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Telus.zip
Currently, the download is Windows-only. I will make a OSX/Linux/Windows version soon
Also Bell, Telus and Rogers are now supported by the 1 click freegee app! This is $1, and the pc method will always remain free. This is just for those lazy and want to donate .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee
Worked perfectly! Thanks again to Team Codefire for high levels of awesomeness.
Now bring on the roms! lol
Thank you! :highfive:
EDIT: I'm wondering if someone made this flashable, we (bell, rogers) would be able to flash the BASE ROM from the att forum and then flash this since at this time we don't have a rom that's flashable yet..

thank you very much for your hard effort and work!
EDIT: works great on rogers.
Snap! I will do it tomorrow at work. During my own free time of course many thanks.

Special thanks to the devs for all their hard work. Hopefully no hiccups with the Telus version. Donation coming on release.

Do you still need the dump for Telus or you have what you need now?
Just need someone to test. Hope on irc. Ill be on in 2 hours.

Awesome stuff, I guess now I have no excuses to not get this phone as my next one.
Awesome!
Works fantastic on Rogers. Would love a de-rogersfied rom as well.
Thank you everyone!

Does the Rogers version have a lot of bloatware on it? I remember my Samsung Captivate having about 3 or 4 Rogers apps put on it/

around 4-6 for rogers then theres the lg crapware
If it disables LG Security does that mean we can safely uninstall google apps like movies and books?
Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?

In theory yes, but nobody's going to promise you that it won't happen at this point

Freegee includes CWM. Once it's done you can boot into the bootloader and get to cwm, or use adb and reboot into recovery that way (easier, because we can't see what we're selecting in the bootloader at the moment, vol down twice then power gets you there )
Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?

Nothing lg related. I believe it is just a trivial side effect and they rather release a version as quick as.possible and put focus on.more important stuff than target irrelevant images
what about f180l

Awesome! Can't wait for the custom roms coming, especially if it fixes the battery issue!
I rooted and unlocked without any issues. However, when I enter CMW and attempt to make a nandroid backup of the original Rom it says "Can't mount unlock path". I've never run into this before. Do I need to mount something in the Mounts & Storage?

Root it and put a good rom on.

i see that , but when i saw the home screen after rooted i don't like it! it was like the screen of the nexus 4.. i don't like this screen, i like the original screen of the s3... there're no way to have the update from at&t ??? i wanna do the root but i must stay on the same screen not the nexus ones... thats not because its an unlocked phone?
Are u trying to update over WiFi?
yes. but everytime the phone said that i must check after 48hours
You can choose other roms that don't look like the nexus home screen! Try out Cyanogenmod 10.1. I really liked it a lot and it was really stable and smooth!
can you please send me all roms i can install on my s3.. i'll watch them on youtube to see which i can try

Just look at the threads here. There are so many that it is impossible to have a definitive list. No matter what you are looking for, there is most likely a ROM that will meet your requirements. Search and read. One of things about custom roms is that flashing them can be addictive and fun.

This is by far my favorite ROM that uses a stock Samsung look. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412755
You can find your options for ROMs that keep the stock look here.

cannot update my SGH-I747M
Hi there, I´m new here. I´m from Gdl Mexico. Need help. I bought this model from TELCEL carrier but then wanted to change carrier so I did, to MOVISTAR. Tech guy from this place rooted my phone and installed some crappy firmware "Claro" (this is some SouthAmerican carrier). Said it´s the only one that can work with MOVISTAR for this model. And it does but ever since I did this I´m still running version: 4.1.1. When trying to update, says "device has been modified. Software updates are not available" Kies wont recon.And to make matters worse the "Radio" pre-installed app is gone. I don't want to switch back to TELCEL. What can I do? please help! I´ve tried factory restore,deleting Cache, OTA Rootkeeper, Triangle away etc...Someone help me!!!!

Ok. This is confirmed....But
Has anyone modded this to flash outside the software update? Since my phone is rooted and lokified it will not take the update, and a boot loop or something is waiting.
Has anyone have a download and "modded" version for us lesser children???:angel:
Thanks !

BE ADVISED: More than likely if you are rooted and you go back to stock and flash this ROM, you will NOT be able to root right away, and Free Gee probably will not work, so if this is important to you. Do NOT flash this ROM OTA. wait till the dev's come up with a rooted version.
